There are great many families NOV
ing into the western part of the State
this fall. Hardly day passes that does
not see from one to a dozen loaded teams
passing westward. The time has come
when the lands of all portions of our
beautif ul state are known to be produc-
tive and valuable, and no part more pro-
ductive or more valuable than the north
west-the handsomest portion of the
Record.
Farmers, watch out for them. The
Western News says: Two very smooth
talking scoundrels are going over the
State victimiZing the fan mers. One claims
to be gathering stock statistics. while the
other has "A remOnstrance against high
taxation The object is to secure the
signature of farmers to papers which af-
turu up at the banks as promis
o v notes. Our farmers are warned to
be on the lookout for them. and give
them warm reception, or turn them
over to the authorities"
Good for Hoxie! We quote the follow
ing from the HoxIe Sentinel of recent
date. Colby has an energetic class of
composed of honorable men, full
of vim. push and enterprise. 1t is the
only town that to-day shows determin-
alton to rustic Hoxie for the laurels of
being THE town of this section of the
west. We have no harsh words to saw
against Colby on this account, indeed, we
are glad that she Is made of such an en-
class of people. but only state
these facts that our citizens may know
with whom they have to put on the ar
nor for the honor of the best city" Hox-
e and Colby have much in common, and
the only rivalry there need be between
he two places is to vie with each other
in progress. Hoxie will always find a |
hearty support from Colby where the in |
Ierests of the two cities are concerned. !
But she will have to stir herself pretty
lively if she expects to catch up with or
'urpass Colby.
